Rich, creamy, and irresistibly chocolatey no-bake truffles made with cream cheese and melted chocolate for the ultimate indulgent treat.

Scale

8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened

2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or preferred chocolate)

1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional coatings: cocoa powder, sprinkles, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, melted white chocolate

1. Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.

2. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

3. Melt chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.

4. Combine melted chocolate with the cream cheese mixture and mix well until thick and uniform.

5. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 1–2 hours until firm.

6. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture and roll into smooth balls.

7. Coat truffles in your choice of cocoa powder, sprinkles, nuts, or coconut.

Use good quality chocolate for best flavor.

Chill your hands before rolling to prevent melting.
